Full power commercial and noncommercial radio stations and LPFM stations licensed to communities in Arizona, Idaho, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, or Wyoming must begin airing pre-filing license renewal announcements on April 1, 2013. License renewal applications for these stations, and for in-state FM translator stations, are due by June 3, 2013.
Pre-Filing License Renewal Announcements
Full power commercial and noncommercial radio, LPFM, and FM Translator stations whose communities of license are located in Arizona, Idaho, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, or Wyoming must file their license renewal applications with the FCC by June 3, 2013 (because June 1 falls on a Saturday).
Beginning two months prior to that filing, full power commercial and noncommercial radio and LPFM stations must air four pre-filing announcements alerting the public to the upcoming renewal application filing. As a result, these radio stations must air the first pre-filing renewal announcement on April 1, 2013. The remaining pre-filing announcements must air once a day on April 16, May 1, and May 16, 2013, for a total of four announcements. At least two of these four announcements must air between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and/or 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. local time.
